I love examining couture garments for ideas I can incorporate into my own sewing. Thanks for sharing.

It is a gorgeous jacket. And great information and pictures. Thanks for sharing. This article was especially useful to me as I sew a lot of jackets and like to use unique and unusual fabrics, some of which are not typical jacket fabrics. Did the flannel and muslin adding bulk that needed to be considered when choosing the size of the pattern, or fitting the muslin(if there was one) or the jacket?

It is difficult to find information on sewing double cloth. This article was especially helpful to me by illustrating how to stay a bias edge in double cloth.

Thank you for sharing the details of this coat. I always enjoy seeing and reading about the internal construction of unique vintage garments, even if the styles would not be worn today. The techniques can be used on garments I make now. I too was very surprised that hair canvas used to beef up silk satin.

Great ideas at just the right time as I am currently working on sleeveless tops to wear under jacket for work. I never think to use my machines decorative stiches, so it was nice to see that technique. I also love Waechter's unique fabrics.

I have used Fiber Etch and gotten the results shown in this article on prewashed, none name brand cotton fabrics. There are also recipes on the internet for mixing your own Fiber Etch using easily obtained (but unfortunately in large quantities) pool chemicals. I have not tried them though.
